Well there's something in the way 
She said I hate you 'cause you breathe 
Mando It's not the first time that I heard it 
But this one is out of reach 
Diao I got my mind set on destruction 
And if it will strike me hard 
The Will you remember me 

Oh it's in the way you set your life 
Wildfire On your alarm and hit the snoozer 
You waste your life expectancy 
If You throw away your hopes and dreams 
The night will never end, it'll stay forever 
It Well the dark will eat you up inside 

So I smile and shed a tear 
Was And said when will you go away 
She said who cares you`re not 
True Entitled to ask those things today 
Don't let the salt get in your eye 
Songtexte Don't let the ghost get in your heart 
There were sweet memories 
Songtext In the corner of my mind 
They were telling me to throw up 
Lyrics All the things that I want to hide that 

We're having fun in the daytime 
Lyric We'll chase the stars in the nighttime 
And we'll take the sun in the morning 
Liedertexte We just don't care if they see us fall 
If it was true 
Liedertext 
Well today I bought the paper by myself 
And cried 'cause everyone was happy 
Alle And on the streets well they where dancing 
To some kind of Puerto Rican music 
Mando That we would hate 
But we would just move along to 
Diao 
So if you're driving in your car 
And hear this song on radio1 
The Well I know that it sound silly 
'Cause you don`t have a car 
Wildfire But I just read it in a book 
That these things happen in the fictive world 
If 
So I smile and shed a tear 
And said when will you go away 
It She said who cares you're not 
Entitled to ask those things today 
Was Don't let the salt get in your eye 
Don't let the ghost get in your heart 
True There were sweet memories 
In the corner of my mind 
They were telling me to throw up 
Songtexte All the things that I want to hide that 

We're having fun in the daytime 
Songtext We'll chase the stars in the nighttime 
And we'll take the sun in the morning 
Lyrics We just don't care if they see us fall 
Just don't care 
Lyric Just don't care at all 
If it was true 

Well there is something in the air 
Liedertexte That makes it difficult to live 
The way we lived back in the days 
Liedertext When we had all the time to kill 
It's just the wildfire burning 
Alle There's no way to put it out 
Just a wildfire spreading 
Mando Through my days and throug my nights 
Don't ask no questions 
Diao Don't ever tell no lie 
I'm so tired of explaining 
The Every minor detail of my life 

We're having fun in the daytime 
Wildfire We'll chase the stars in the nighttime 
And we'll catch the sun in the morning 
If We just don't care if they see us fall 
We're having fun in the daytime 
It We'll chase the stars in the nighttime 
And we'll catch the sun in the morning 
Was We just don't care if they see us fall 
Just don't care 
True Just don't care at all 
If it was true
